Mrs. Villaraigosa received a standing ovation Thursday when she spoke at a mentoring group’s fundraiser.

The public speech was her first since the announcement in June of her divorce from the mayor.

“Know that when you keep commitments to yourself, it’s easier to keep commitments to others,” Corina Villaraigosa told the group “Girls Today, Women Tomorrow,” a mentoring group, at the downtown Los Angeles fundraiser.
